Pikes Peak Region Events

The Manitou Springs Heritage Museum proudly announces the opening of its new Winter exhibit, “Ski Areas of the Pikes Peak Region”.  The exhibit is a collaboration with the Colorado Snowsports Museum in Vail, who provided some amazing historic photographs. Due to the efforts of the Pikes Peak Ski Club and Don Lawrie, the club’s first president, ski areas like the Pikes Peak Ski Area and Ski Broadmoor were successful for many years while other Ski Areas were planned, but never operational.  This exhibit tells the stories of the early skiing pioneers who were dedicated to promoting the sport of skiing within the Pikes Peak Region.

First Friday March 7 (Noon-8 pm)

Event Description:

In an era of rapid economic change and uncertainty, the creative economy stands as a powerful driver of innovation, economic vitality, and community resilience. But what does it take for artists, cultural organizations, and creative entrepreneurs to truly thrive—not just survive in this environment?

This session will explore strategies for creative entrepreneurship and economic resilience, drawing from national and international models, including the Washington Creative Economy Strategic Plan, California Creative Corps, Artists Thrive, and Nesta’s Creative Enterprise Toolkit. We’ll discuss strategies to support creative workers, unlock new revenue models, and strengthen cross-sector partnerships that elevate the value of arts and culture in broader economic conversations.

Through real-world case studies and interactive discussion, we'll uncover ways to strengthen the infrastructure supporting creative businesses and advocate for the role of arts and culture in broader community conversations. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, policymaker, or cultural leader, this session will provide actionable insights to help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of today’s economic landscape and shape the future of the creative economy.

Join us as we Level Up! our thinking on the future of creative work, entrepreneurship, and community impact.

Beowulf (and the Bard)
Author: Vidas Barzdukas and Christopher R. Bartlett.
Published: Dramatic Publishing

Farcical Comedy
Beowulf (and the Bard) is a fun, frenetic and freewheeling farce that updates the Old English poem about the warrior Beowulf, who must rescue the mead hall from a hideous ogre (and his even more hideous mother). Told through the eyes of the epic’s writer—a character known simply as “the bard”—the comedy’s events unfold much differently than the familiar story passed down through the ages. In reality, Beowulf is an out-of-shape prince hoping to fulfill the heroic code, while the bard is a desperate poet struggling with a nasty case of writer’s block. This retelling also introduces a new female character: the bloodthirsty warrior princess Gunborg, whose quest to reach her heroic destiny is ignored by her overprotective father, the king. Beowulf (and the Bard) is a comedy about friendship, duty and what it means to be a hero.

Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, but in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find themselves up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.
